frozen pants

When we lived in Gimli, three and a half decades ago, we used to dry at least some laundry on the line. I have memories of the pants being frozen stiff when brought in. We used to stand them up in the corner and they would fall over when they thawed.

We have a small clothes rack in the basement that I still like to hang my shirts and pants on to drip dry. Since I wear a lot of cottons, this also helps them from shrinking as much as they do in the dryer. I also like the way they feel having drip dried compared to having tumble dried.
It's not much, but it's my little bit for the environment. That and reusing bounce sheets.

One day I'll have to hang the kids pants to show them what it's like. Maybe this weekend.
